Organise a Fundraiser

Organise a Fundraiser

People are working hard to help us fight against heart disease and stroke. From dances to bag packing, jumble sales to golf outings, uniform days to quiz nights, poker nights and coffee mornings, throughout Ireland people are organising activities for Croí Heart and Stroke Charity. We would love for you to join them and help save lives by organising your own event or taking part in one of our Croí Challenges.
Your generosity allows us to fund services such as prevention programmes, life-saving training and hospital developments.

Creativity is the key to successful fundraising – search online for fundraising ideas, ask family, friends and colleagues. A good idea is just a brainstorm away! Keep the ideas simple and make sure you inform as many people as possible. Feel free to call us to discuss your ideas and ask for support.

Always remember fundraising should be fun, so get creative to attract as many people to take part as possible

If time is a problem, give your fundraising a regular focus, such as making 4pm every Friday a time for fundraising and planning events

Add a fundraising element to an event that is already happening ( e.g. mini marathon or local dinner dance etc..)

Use local media to advertise your event and don’t forget the power of social media

Know your talent – speak to people around you and find out what their hobbies and interests are and who they know. This might be helpful in organising guest speakers, events or prizes

Use local businesses to your advantage. You may be able to organise a collection in a local public place such as a shopping centre or airport. You can also ask a local venue to allow you to use their facilities for free.
